the only fireworks that should be available for sale are noiseless/silent.

What the petition asks
We would like the government to ban the sale/remove the license of fireworks that make noise to protect the health of pets, people with mental health conditions such as PTSD and people with autistic spectrum disorders
Fireworks that make noise are unnecessary. There are silent/noiseless fireworks available to purchase on the market so the suffering to the aforementioned groups can be eradicated with the simple removal of these items.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: Review and reduce the decibel limit on fireworks sold to the public
While some fireworks are marketed as silent, these still make some noise. If you would like the Government to reduce the decibel limit to a specific level, you could start a new petition requesting this.
